The Space:
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE. PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING:
Refer to the Off-Grid section below for more information regarding power considerations in the summer and on cloudy days.

Javelina Hideout is a rustic modern desert home located on 10 acres with expansive views. JH is an eco-friendly, off-grid home with rainwater harvesting and blends in beautifully with the stunning desert scenery. It is thoughtfully and sustainably designed to maximize comfort and enjoyment while minimizing the environmental impact. Please read through the entire listing to avoid any confusion or disappointment.

-MAIN HOUSE-
The main house features a full kitchen, open concept dining and living area, a private bathroom, and the primary bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, gas range, and a full-sized refrigerator, but there is no dishwasher or microwave. Pots, pans and dishware are provided. A French Press and pour over coffee maker are provided. The house is cooled by a mini split air conditioner in the primary bedroom and heated with wall heaters. The bedroom features a king memory foam mattress, ceiling fan, a large east facing window for watching the sunrise from bed, high south facing windows for mountain views. There is a comfortable rollaway TwinXL bed that can be used in the living room.

-BUNKHOUSE-
TwinXL bunk beds equipped with their own reading lamp and USB outlets are in the freestanding bunk house. The bunkhouse is available on all reservations at no additional charge. Please let us know if you plan to use this additional space. It is ideal for guests wanting solitude away from the main house. It has a window mounted air conditioner and a propane wall heater. An outdoor sink is provided for convenience. Bunk house guests can access the bathroom in the main house via an exterior door.

-OUTDOOR SPACE-
We provide a 1000 square foot covered porch with comfortable seating and dining areas amidst a serene view. Relax at the sunset bar with a beverage in hand, or swing in the hanging egg chairs while watching the shadows dance across the mesa and surrounding mountains. We provide both a gas cooking grill (we provide the gas) and a charcoal grill (you provide the charcoal). Bring firewood to enjoy the firepit out front, or simply enjoy the gas firepit in the seating area out back. Bring a hammock for stargazing as we provide a hammock stand a short distance away from the house on the nature trail.

-OFF GRID-
All water is held in rain catchment tanks on site. Please conserve water with diligence. We suggest limiting showers to 3 minutes. This house is powered entirely by the sun with battery storage. Please do not bring or use any electrical appliances that heat up such as a blow dryer, curling iron, coffee maker, crock pot etc. Be mindful of power use on cloudy days that inhibit solar performance. The AC’s in the main and bunk house are set to turn off when the batteries drop below 48V to ensure enough power for the fridge and water pump (AC’s will turn back on when the sun has charged to approximately 52 V). Guests must be sensible about how and when they use the air conditioner. An instruction guide with summertime tips is provided at the rental.

-ADDITIONAL CAMPERS-
Do you have more friends that want to join in your adventures Campsites are available upon special request. Campers are required to bring their own tents, all their own bedding (sleeping pads & bags, pillows, blankets, bath linens, etc). Additional $25 cleaning fee applies and there will be an additional charge of $10 per person per night for tent camping to help cover the cost of additional water usage.

Interaction with Guests:
We manage several properties and live a few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or message. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues.

    Property even better than the pictures and descriptions! Hosts very communicative. Property in excellent condition, with the feel of a true second home (and not a rental unit). Ample space in and out. Bunk house was a big hit with the teenagers. Kitchenware was high quality. No issue with electricity from the solar battery array, even on the shortest day of the year. Terrific wildlife viewing, and oh, the stars at night!

    This was our 4th trip to Terlingua and this property was, by far, our favorite. Everything is as described. All that we needed was provided. The views and wildlife are amazing! Definitely will return. Thank you!

    Great spot offering unsurpassed peace and privacy and 360 degree views. Dusty in the desert but glamping at its best. Well-stocked simple house with everything one needs. Whimsical paths circumnavigate the property. We never turned on the TV as the Big Bend vibe followed us back to Javalina. Wonderful managers who provided amazing info and instructions and whom we never saw but were always available. Texting worked great. Magical place.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Javelina Hideout. The house was very clean and accommodating to our family of 5. The kids loved staying in the bunk house and the house was absolutely lovely with amazing views. There are multiple outdoor areas to take in the views, have a drink, grill, and relax. The trail behind the house was so fun to explore with the kids. We visited Big Bend two days and this was the perfect place to come home to and relax after a long day of hiking trails. We would definitely book here again.

    This place was great! It mostly had everything you needed. The sunsets were beautiful and the stars were amazing. It was nice to relax and chill. Terlingua is only 20-25 min drive away if you need supplies or just to check the town out. Big Bend about 45min to 1 hour drive away. The hosts were communicative with us and helped us with whatever we needed. We plan to come back again!

    This is an amazing place to stay. The setting is beautiful and the home has everything you need. You need to plan ahead and bring your groceries, etc. if you are cooking, as it is not particularly close to anywhere, which is the point of staying there. Terlingua has a pretty well stocked market though 20ish minutes away, on the way to BBNP. We easily could have stayed longer! We loved the sunsets, sitting on the porch, just hanging out, and enjoying the setting. No one even minded short showers or hand washing dishes. And our days in BBNP were outstanding as well.

    Our vacation to BBNP was wonderful and coming home to Javelina Hideout made it even better. We loved everything about our stay. Turns out 3 minute showers are sufficient and our coffee was delicious! We enjoyed the birds and all the comfortable areas to relax-as well as the decor in and out. The sunrises and sunsets were delightful! Everything there is well thought out for aesthetics and comfort. Our only regret is not being able to spend more time there! Janet and Daryl were very accommodating.

    Would 100 stay here again. The house had everything we needed. Well thought out down to that matches in the bathroom. Ha! Sadly we did not get to use the fire pits due to a wind/dust storm but hope to in the future! Bed was super comfortable, clean and plenty of extra blankets in the closet. We had to use one heater for a little bit which worked great! The AC worked well also. Views and stars were breathtaking. Bring a legit flashlight! Don’t try to count on your phone. No real problems with bugs and such. Our stay was October 23rd - 25th ‘22. It’s the season that can be hot but very cold in the same day. That’s Texas!
